Someone sent HP laptops to government officials in 10 states. Sounds like a nice enough gesture, right? The FBI doesn’t think so. The organization is trying to figure out who sent the unsolicited gifts to the offices, over fears that they may be packed with malware.
“We were notified by the governor’s office that they had received the laptops and they had not ordered them,” West Virginia’s CTO, Kyle Schafer told Computer World. “We checked our records and we had not ordered them.”
The computers are being held by state police.
